All-Inclusive Vacations

I’m back!  Sorry for the delay in postings.  My husband and I were off on a little babymoon, one last vacation before she arrives!  We went to Florida for a few days to visit his family and my grandma and then to Mexico for some relaxation! We stayed at the beautiful Royal Hideaway in Playa [...]

FNCE Day #4

Monday morning I woke up with some extra time to spare before heading to the conference.  So I decided to make my breakfast out of the swag I got at the conference the day before: I had a chocolate vitamuffin topped with a packet of Barney Butter (almond butter) and a packet of dried plums [...]

FNCE Day #3

Sunday was the first actual day of FNCE.  The conferences go on for 3 days (Sunday, Monday & Tuesday).  The first lecture was at 8am, so I woke up early to get ready and head out.  The walk from my hotel to the conference center was about 8-10 blocks, and I asked my hotel if [...]

FNCE Day #2

Saturday morning I woke up after a very restful night sleep, bright and early to head to our Nutrition Entrepreneurs board meeting.  Our room was reserved from 7:30 – 3:30, where we would have breakfast & lunch and go through all our agenda items. I walked in to this spread: Juice, Bagels with cream cheese, [...]

FNCE Day #1

I’m back from Denver, Colorado and boy was it an amazing weekend!  I learned so much, networked with amazing colleagues, and am back completely pumped to be in the field of nutrition. I flew to Denver Thursday evening and got in around 8pm (10pm Eastern time).  Knowing my flight was over dinner time, I packed [...]

Prezza Review: The North End

Last weekend for our night out in Boston my husband and I decided to try the restaurant Prezza in the North End.  After reading great reviews on Chowhound and Zagat I made a reservation. Here’s what the chef Anthony Caturano says of Prezza: “Today, Prezza, my restaurant enhances this peasant style by incorporating foods from [...]

Healthy Lunches in Boston

This past weekend, as I mentioned in my previous post, I was in Boston for 2 days.  For me it works well to eat mostly healthy foods full of nutrients during the day so I feel my best and save some “indulgent” foods for the evening.  It’s usually rather easy to find healthy food, particularly [...]

Portable Breakfast

This Labor Day weekend, my husband and I decided to take a trip to Boston.  Why not enjoy another great city, walk around, and enjoy some good food? We left Friday on an early morning Amtrak train.  Since I knew the Penn Station options would leave my breakfast choices to bagels and pastries, I figured [...]

Roman Lunches

I’m reverting back to my European trip… The end of our trip was Rome, which is one of my favorite cities!  The culture, history, food, and architecture is all amazing.  As I have shown through some of my other European posts, I tried to balance out some of my favorite European treats with healthy food, [...]

Florentine Lunch

Oh how I LOVE Florence!  There is something incredibly charming and authentic about Florence.  Yes there are tons of tourists flocking to the Duomo in the summertime, but it doesn’t really matter! We spent one day in Florence on our way to Tuscany.  Since we had been there before, it was really to reminisce.  Last [...]
